One cause of the error could probably be that you accidentally changed the standard format ...
Open the format templates in the Start tab. Then right-click the Standard style and select Modify from the context menu.
It's just a chance, without a workbook you can only guess.
It is always more sensible to upload a file (without sensitive data) so that we can understand the problem. This enables us to offer you a solution that is quicker and more specific, which in turn could be available to you more quickly.

Here is a quick example of what I'm experiencing
Strange that this book is happy with =23/2 but +23/2 is causing the issue. Normally it's both that are doing it.
See if you get the same issues with this.
